AUTO DEFROST
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost
sequences Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to
defrost frozen foods The Auto Defrost Sequence
TabFe below provides some basic guidelines
the three defrost sequences
for using
However, in order to enter food weight in AUTO
DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a
pound if the weight on the food package is in
fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart
to convert the weight to decimals

TIPS
temperature of 5°F or below, always program a
lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to
prevent cooking the food
• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
minutes, enter a lower food weight
• The shape of the package alters the defrosting
Lime Shallow rectangular packets defrost more
quickly than a deep block
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost
7 Close the door and restart
Separated pieces defrost more easily
• You can use small pieces of aFumtnum foil to
shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and [ish
tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the
oven° Foi! can damage the oven fining
8 When the defrost time is
over, you writ hear four
beeps and END will display
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they
start to become warm
NOTE: If you do not open the
door the display will
resume the countdown

• When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be
entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of
pounds (the weight of the food minus the
container)
• Only use AUTO DEFROST for raw food AUTO
DEFROST gives best results when food to be
thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a
"true" freezer) if food has been stored in a

GETTING THE BEST COOKING
RESULTS
To get the best results from your microwave
and follow the guidelines beiow
• Turn over foods likepork chops, baking potatoes,
roasts, or whole cauliflower her{way through the
cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave
oven, read
• Storage Temperature:
Foods taken from the freezer
or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same
foods at room temperature
The time for recipes in
this book is based on the normal storage temperature
of the food
• Size; Sma_ pieces of food cook faster than large
ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more
evenly For even cooking, reduce the power when
cooking large pieces of food
• Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more
evenly because microwave energy is attracted to
water molecules
• Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from
the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly
and speed cooking Constant stirring is not
necessary
Fish
energy
• Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the dish
• Arrange uneveniy shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier
parts toward the outside of the dish
• Shield, with Small pieces of aluminum full, parts of
food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg
ends of po_ttry
• Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the
microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let
it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid
overcocking the outer edges The length of standing
time depends on the denstty and surface area of the
food
• Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel;
Sandwiches and many other foods containing
prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to
m}crowaving to prevent drying out

Fish and Shellfish:

Directions
• Prepare the fish for cooking
- Completely defrost the fish or shetlfish
- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts

cook Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or
vented plastic wrap
Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be
- Always set the shortest cooking time Fish is done
when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave
oven so that I
may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?
A Only use the rack that Is supplied with your
microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in
poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may
damage your oven
Q,, Can I use either metal or aluminum
pans in my
microwave oven?
A Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding
(use smalt, fiat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray
is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb
microwave energy) Never allow metal to touch
wal_s or door
Qo Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy° Is this normal?
A This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of your oven
QoWhat are the humming noises that I hear when
my microwave oven is operating?
A You hear the sound of the transformer when the
magnetron tube cycles on and off
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave
food in it? I thought that this should
not happen..
A As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to
the dish Use hot pads to remove food after
cooking
4 Lift up the bulb holder
Q,, What does "standing time" mean?
A "Standing time" means that food should be taken
out of the oven and covered for additional time after
cooking This process allows the cooking to finish,
saves energy and frees the oven for other purpose
Q, Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How
do I get the best results?
A Yes Pop packaged microwave popcorn fo]!owing
manufacturer's guidelines or use the
preprogrammed Popcorn pad
Do not use regular paper bags Use the "listening
test" by stopping the oven as soon as the popping
slows to a "pop" every one or two seconds Do not
try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use
special microwave poppers When using a popper,
be sure to follow manufacturer's directions Do not
pop popcorn in glass utensils
5 Replace bulb with a 30 watt appliance bulb
6 Replace the bulb holder.
7 Slide the top of the vent cover into place Push the
bottom until it snaps Into place Replace the
mounting screws Turn the power back on at the
main power supply
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust
vent?
A Steam is normally produced during cooking The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this
steam out the top vent
